Outage

Re: Internet

Hi Andrew, I am hoping to get a status update on my services. It's been several days without any services in myHome. I am in south Florida and although I've called customer service several times no one can give me a straight answer as to the problem and I've been given several different times for a resolution and nothing has been solved as of yet. I need internet for business purposes and have already gone over my data on my phone. When can we realistically expect this to be handled? Thank you

Checking status is useless

I understand after an event like a hurricane it might be difficult to restore services quickly, but the updates on the xfinity app and website just saying there is an outage is just not enough info. If there is a power issue, or some other difficulty or just some piece of useful info would be appreciated. I live in Hollywood fl 33024 and have had no internet or cable since the storm hit, its been 7 days so far with no service. (home security appears to be working) Any updates would be apprieciated, I rely on my internet to check my bills and check my work email...my phone data is all used up. thanks.

Re: Checking status is useless

Agree 100%. First off out for 7 days is unacceptable, worse is the generic "you have an outage in your area and we are working hard to restore". By now they should have some level of detail and an estimated time. I work from home and rely on internet. I've blown through my cellular data plan and had to upgrade it because of this extended outage.

the only options in my area 33426 are Comcast and att. Is there legislation that can be enacted to open up the competition? FPL has been so impressive in their response. Comcast, not s much. Internet is vital in today's world and more options and competition are needed badly.

PR talk lies

10+ days without internet...long after power has been restored in the area. My entire city has power. my cable provider AT&T has restored service long ago. What are you guys doing? What happened to the out of state workers you said you deployed? I have a service center 10-15 minutes away from my area, I drive by and I see a whole bunch of xfinity trucks parked. Why? They should be on the road fixing the internet. I hope you do not have to audacity to charge me or anybody without service for this month. If you do I will persure legal action because what you are committing is called FRAUD.

Re: "My service isn't working" (Hurricane Irma) Megathread

Any way to get an update on restoring service to 33060 (Pompano Beach, FL)? Power was restored to my street Tuesday afternoon (09/12), and as of today (09/16) as I left for work (~1500) there are still downed cable wires along the whole street, haven't seen any trucks the whole week. I keep getting the generic message when I log in to both the myaccount website and app.

Lost service 5 days after Hurricane Irma

Why did I lose service 5 days after Hurricane Irma. Can't get anybody to answer the phones at Comcast Xfinity anywhere. Could only get through to India online chat on my phone. They Didn't have a clue why I had service through hurricane Irma and after the Hurricane past and then 5 days later on Saturday the 16th lost service. But I didn't have a clue when it would be back on. 32825

Re: The homes on each side of me have cable/internet but I do not have service

Sorry, dude , while we see a xfinity wifi available, it also shows NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET, and has all week since the hurricane causing outtages. I got my electric back yesterday, and the same issue. Gitterdid, son.

if you have xfinitywif from someone else's working system or you have unlimited cell data or an open hotspot you can use your access on the cloud DVR to watch the 60 maximum hours that it stores.

Re: No cable

Zip 32726. Lost full cable Internet connection (no downstream sync) the night of the storm along with power. Regained power on 9/13 evening and regained cable modem sync mid-day 9/14. However, it is only barely connected, as the speed is less than 5mps down / 13mps up (I have "Blast!® Internet") and my Status page shows Outage in my area and Not Connected for the modem. This low quality connection is greatly effecting my ability to perform my job (home office, remoting into work servers and using PolyCom VOIP phone) as the connection is continually desyncing and dropping packets. I also can't fully use the connection for after work activities and entertainment, as the quality prevent anything other than simple web browsing. This is still the case as of 9/17 morning. While I understand that Comcast crews can't service the lines until power crews have finished working on the same poles, I think Comcast has failed in proactively providing better and more information on the status of the repairs and rebuilds.

Refund on this month's bill

I have found no way to talk to a human at Comcast. Not only have I been without service for over a week- there is no way to find out when my service will be restored. My job depends on files and contacts on my PC. I feel Comcast should not bill for the time we have not been connected.

hurricane Irma xfinity WiFi hotspot

As a result of hurricane Irma I have no service I was unable to use hotspots and I was billed for my monthly service even though I'm not getting service due to outages my question is will xfinity customers be receiving credit for interrupted service?

Call and ask. You should get credit for the outage, but it's not automatic.

Re: "My service isn't working" (Hurricane Irma) Megathread

I have had power since Wednesday yet still as of yet have no comcast service( internet,phone,tv). All my neighbors who are with other companies AT&T, dish etc have had service within 1 day of power returning. I can't get a straight answer, they even sent a tech to my house as well as 15 other neighbors who was baffled as to why he was given the appts when no service was available in the area due to an outage. No one can tell me if it's being worked on, when I will be getting service and are clueless as to the reason there is still an outage. I work from home and am considering switching if I can't get an answer especially since I have not seen one Comcast truck in my area except for the baffled tech who is unable to do anything. When is Comcast gonna get it together and get service restored in the areas that have power and no access issues?

Re: No Internet or Cable service

Hello. We've had power for days. And I am u able to get a straight answer from Comcast as to the issue and when we can expect this to be restored. It is just unacceptable for such a large company to keep its customers in the dark. I understand the situation but it's been a week and I want to know when I can expect my services back.

Miami Florida - Down Comcast cable

Hi! I'd like to report a down cable at my home residence in Miami, FL. where or whom can I report this to? I know service is still down when I check my online account, but most of my friends around the same neighborhood with comcast already have their internet back. Anyways, This cable basically on the ground in my backyard needs to be checked/ looked at.

Re: hurricane irma

Hi

FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY IRMA IN FLORIDA:

This is not entirely true ascomcastis picking and choosing how to answer this question. When you do get power back, assuming you do not have power, Comcast would still need to assess their crappy equipment and then fix it so you can get service. That said it will be longer that you will be out of service. Further once you do have service, yes you can callcomcastand request a credit, butthatswhen the fighting for the appropriate credit will begin. You should be credited not only for the time you DO NOT have service, but also the proportionate taxes and fees to the credit that you should receive. Don't bother with their chat service as you will get nowhere there. You, apparently, also have the option of filling out an online form that you do not get confirmation fromcomcastthat you submitted to them (noticed that you cant even emailcomcastanymore?). That form page is https://www.xfinity.com/florida-form.

Good Luck...i'vejust begun to fight for my credit.

I had no issue getting credit for Hermine, including the taxes. Haven't tried for Irma, since it was only a few hours.

Re: hurricane irma

They should automatically credit everyone that was affected the month of September. Doesn't seem right that a lot of people that were affected will be paying their full bill. When they have been without service for over a week.

Re: "My service isn't working" (Hurricane Irma) Megathread

My service quit on Sept 10th 2017...several days before Hurricane Irma made landfall in Fl. I've called to report that and am told that receiving credit for the days of no service is not automatic. I am finding out that a scheduled maintenance at the main facility was the real culprit and not the storm. There are no lineman out in our city because there was very little damage in our city from hurricane Irma. One would think Comcast could give us a proposed date when they can resume service.

Re: US/DS Light Blinking, No Internet/TV

We have not had internet or TV in 9 days! Our Xfinity internet and TV went out before power was off. Power came back on last Wednesday and still we have o service! I am hoping we at least get a credit or no charges for loss of service! Frustrated!

Scheduled maintenance would take a few minutes to at max two hours. An eight-day outage could only be storm-related. Even if your local cable system is fine, there could be issues miles and miles away that are preventing signal from reaching you.

Re: "My service isn't working" (Hurricane Irma) Megathread

The "status center" has had the same message for over a week... "There is currently an Internet and TV and voice outage in your area." No answers as to when service would be restored. No answers on the phone. The "chat" option doesnt work. It's not a power issue as Key Biscayne (33149) has had power for a week. Friends a couple of streets down have service. What is going on? Why arent there answers? Why isnt there a timeline? Working off phone data, and racking it up quickly! Can someone please provide answers?

When will my services be restored?

Re: Any estimate for service restoration in Naples, FL?

Enough is enough. No service. No information. Missed every date/time for restoration. When will someone at Comcast tell the truth or admit they have no idea what is going on? How about Comcast stops the lying? Nine days now and no one in Naples, FL has seen Comcast trucks anywhere in the field. Power was restored days ago. Dishonesty and failure to provide explanations and truthful information = Comcast = the worst customer servie and relations of any corporation in America. I've experienced really, really bad service before, but this exceeds anything previously known in the industry. Comcast isn't even accountable to the politicians who get their legal bribes from them.
